11:30-12:20 - The complexities of regulation – what is the role of today's regulator? The relationship with the gambling industry and its regulators varies dramatically from territory to territory. Some relationships appear to be discursive and collaborative; others appear to be adversarial and difficult. Why is that? Such differences raise questions about that relationship generally and how it should be. What method of regulation is most effective? Should regulators spoon-feed the industry, lead the industry or provide a framework to the industry to look after itself? Should regulation be "outcome-based" or prescriptive?
